National Nutrient Database API - Sample Source Code

Use the National Nutrient Database API to access USDA data on food nutrients. The REST API returns responses in JSON or XML and requires an API Key. Calls to the API are limited to 1,000 per hour, but the data is free and open to the public for use. Use the National Nutrient Database to generate nutrient reports, get lists of products by nutrient or food group, or search for a specific food product.

The following is a list of sample source code snippets that matched your search term. Source code snippets are chunks of source code that were found out on the Web that you can cut and paste into your own source code. Whereas most of the sample source code we've curated for our directory is for consuming APIs, we occasionally find something interesting on the API provider side of things. If you know of some sample source code that would be of interest to the ProgrammableWeb community, we'd like to know about it.
